On how PhDs become human evil

The analysis revealed very little information. The only thing we could know was that the magical reaction was unusually strong, almost—no, completely—reaching, and even surpassing, the magical power of a planet. It wouldn't be unreasonable to say that it could rival the power of a world.

Such a powerful magical reaction could not possibly be possessed by a human, because the human body is simply too weak to withstand such terrifying magical power.

However, according to the analysis, the entity that produced the magical reaction was actually human in terms of classification!

A human has acquired magical power comparable to that of an entire world! Are you sure that's still human?

But that's not the most important thing. The most important thing is that, according to the analysis results, the magical wavelength of this magical reaction is not an unfamiliar wavelength. Although it is slightly different, it is generally similar to the magical wavelength of an enemy that Fujimaru Ritsuka had faced before.

Beast 1, Goetia, is a monstrous beast that embodies the principle of "Compassion." It was the culprit behind the burning of humanity and was a catastrophe that nearly destroyed human history. Fujimaru Ritsuka crossed seven singularities, gathered many Heroic Spirits, and even sacrificed Roman to defeat it.

Now, this newly emerged magical wavelength is 95% similar to the magical wavelength of Goetia.

"Doctor, this couldn't be...?"

“Yes, there’s no mistake, this is the Beast’s magical reaction.” Roman said with a serious expression. “But this is impossible. We have already defeated and sealed all seven Beasts, and this magical wavelength does not match any of the known Beasts.”

"Could it be a newly appeared Beast?" Fujimaru Ritsuka thought for a moment, then immediately dismissed the idea. "No, if that were the case, Alaya and Gaia would definitely contact me and ask me to deal with that Beast. But they haven't contacted me... Do they tacitly acknowledge the existence of that Beast?"

In the context of human history, the absolute toxicity of the beast is a catastrophe rejected by human history itself. Alaya and Gaia would never allow it to exist peacefully. However, judging from the current situation, we can only conclude that Alaya and Gaia have tacitly accepted the existence of this newly emerged human evil.

"Doctor, have you determined the coordinates of this magical reaction?"

"It's confirmed. Rather, they never intended to hide their location; they were just openly unleashing their magic," Roman chuckled. "Do you want to go?"

Nodding, Fujimaru Ritsuka said, "In any case, we can't let a human evil act freely. Moreover, as long as a human evil appears in the surface world, it will trigger a series of dangerous events and pose a permanent threat to the safety of the world."

“That’s true, but you don’t need to be in such a hurry. I’ve already locked onto the coordinates of that world, so you can go there anytime you want. So why don’t you go back and rest for a bit, maybe have some breakfast or something?”

With a wry smile, Fujimaru Ritsuka said, "Doctor, you know I don't need to eat anymore... Uh, I'll go eat, please don't look at me like that."

Fujimaru Ritsuka has gradually transformed into a superhuman being, and eating is no longer a necessity. However, to prevent Fujimaru Ritsuka from truly losing her humanity, Roman still requires her to eat every meal. If she doesn't eat... well, you know, the Ora combo from the Israeli King of Fighters.

Although Fujimaru Ritsuka won't die, being "Ora Ora" (a type of intense orgasm) is really unpleasant, so she can only obediently go and eat.

————————————————————

After Fujimaru Ritsuka left, Da Vinci, who had been silent the whole time, finally spoke up: "Roman, you still haven't told Ritsuka about that matter. Aren't you afraid she'll be in danger?"

“Even if I don’t say it, Ritsuka will definitely understand it quickly, because that world is really too special.”

To date, Roman and his companions have seen many worlds, but they still feel a sense of danger towards the world they are currently observing.

This world seems to have been destroyed countless times, exuding an aura of desolation and decay.

"Speaking of which, didn't the Land of Light send something over before?"

"Hmm, a very interesting capsule. I've modified them all to be usable by Ritsuka. I'll give them to her when she sets off."

"That's good."

P.S.: I watched Ultraman Geed again today. I only watched the first episode before, but now I've finally finished watching the whole thing... Ultraman Geed was nerfed so badly. He was seriously injured as soon as he appeared. What happened to Tsuburaya Productions' favorite son?

P.S.: I played a class basketball game and completely dominated the other team. Although I didn't score, I managed to shut them down because of my 1.94-meter height.

Section 328, Chapter 21. Sirens: We're having such a hard time.

In a certain area of ​​the Pacific Ocean, a group of girls were sailing at high speed on the sea. Leading the way was none other than Enterprise, followed by Akagi, Kaga, Zuikaku, Shoukaku, and Ayanami.

This is the First Fleet of the Sakura Empire, which, under the orders of Commander Bai Jie, is conducting a bi-weekly Siren reconnaissance mission here.

Of course, although it is called an investigation, this place is actually very close to the Sakura Empire Sea, and the Sirens' activity range is almost entirely in the deep sea. They only appear explosively every summer, and the area is usually calm and peaceful.

That being said, routine investigations are still essential, because there was a case in the past where a port neglected routine investigations, and as a result, the Sirens occupied the surrounding waters without the port's knowledge, and the port was eventually annihilated.

Another wave of carrier-based aircraft was sent out to investigate. Akagi said, "This is the last wave of investigation. If there is still no reaction from the Sirens, it means that there are still no Sirens here as always."

"Who knows? The Sirens are very cunning, especially after establishing a relationship with you. Who knows if you might provide them with a place to hide?" Enterprise said calmly, then released a wave of carrier-based aircraft. "Although we are colleagues, I don't completely trust you yet. No objections?"

"Sure, that's a necessary suspicion, I understand."

Akagi shrugged with a wry smile. In the past, Sakura Empire had indeed cooperated with the Sirens, so it was no wonder that Enterprise suspected they might provide the Sirens with a hiding place—in fact, they did provide one, but the Sirens from that place had already secretly escaped when Bai Jie arrived.

The search by carrier-based aircraft did not last long, only two or three minutes, before all the aircraft returned.

"Search complete. There are no Sirens here. Thank you all for your hard work. Let's head back," Enterprise said. "Before we left, the Commander told me he would prepare afternoon tea for us as a reward."

"Then we have to go back right away! It would be troublesome if Ren and the others snatched the Commander's cake!"

No sooner had the company finished speaking than Zuikaku suddenly sped off towards the direction of the Sakura Empire.

Hurriedly catching up with Zuikaku, Shoukaku couldn't help but laugh at his sister's anxious expression, "Zuikaku really can't wait to see the Commander, even though they were so distant before."

“Because she’s one of the Commander’s two secretary ships now, it’s no wonder she’s clinging to the Commander,” Kaga said. “Speaking of which, it’s quite remarkable that the two of you can work together, Gray Ghost.”

Enterprise glanced at Kaga and said, "Although I don't want to admit it, she has always done a better job than me as the secretary ship. In that case, I have no reason to remove her from the commander's side, because she can indeed help the commander."

Zuikaku was the secretary ship of the former Sakura Empire Commander-in-Chief. In terms of experience, she was definitely superior to Enterprise, who had just been established. If Enterprise hadn't been the first ship girl to follow Bai Jie, Zuikaku might be the only secretary ship now.

However, the company has been learning how to become a qualified secretary ship, and even called Belfast of the Far East Branch to inquire. Presumably, a great battle called the Shura Field will soon break out between the two secretary ships.

"Hey! Shoukaku-nee! Akagi-senpai! Kaga-senpai! Gray Ghost! Hurry up!"

Zuikaku waved vigorously ahead, and after the company members smiled, they all sped up and followed.

--------------------------

Just as the company and its team were returning from their investigation of the sea area, several figures gathered in the pitch-black ocean, in a deeper part of the sea.

There were several women, and although it was clear that they were all exceptionally beautiful, the indescribable chaotic aura emanating from them completely obscured their beauty. Around their bodies floated metal cannon mounts.

Those are ship-mounted weapons, the same type used by the ship girls. Therefore, the identities of these women are self-evident.

Sirens, unknown life forms that once took the ocean from humankind.

"So everyone, it's been a while. Has anything interesting happened in your territories?" a siren who was clearly the leader asked.

"It's still the same here in Africa. Every now and then, you can hear those commanders crying out in agony. They've probably lost a lot of money building ships again. To be honest, I've been in Africa for almost eight years and I haven't seen many super rare ship girls."

"Oh dear, you're really pitiful. I've seen so many super rare ship girls here in Europe that I'm practically numb to it. Compared to that, ordinary ship girls are much rarer."

"You want to fight me? Or how about we switch districts?"

"Forget it, people are worried about being mentally corrupted if they go to your place. Aren't the human commanders in Africa all mentally unstable?"

Even among the many regions in Azur Lane, the African region is a very special one. For some reason, the commanders who govern it have all had terrible luck. For more than two years, they haven't heard any news of gold ship girls appearing there. In fact, many commanders' fleets are full of blue ship girls.

Of course, the combat power of ship girls is not just about their quality. If we're talking about combat power, the African region is definitely among the top – who knows how those commanders managed to train their blue-rarity ships to be able to go toe-to-toe with gold-rarity ships!

Therefore, even though the sirens verbally complain about how bad Africa is, they still regard it as a major threat in their hearts.

"Speaking of which, how is the Sakura Empire, which we used to cooperate with, doing? It seems they have a new commander."

The topic suddenly shifted to Sakura Empire. The Sirens all looked at a colleague who had been huddled in the corner. Seeing that everyone was looking at him, the Sirens immediately gave a wry smile: "That commander is quite something. Although he only has one fleet, it is entirely composed of super rare ship girls. Their combat power is ferocious. The subordinates I sent out to test the waters were all wiped out by one person."

"And that's not all. Even though I only caught a glimpse of him from afar, I could still sense that the commander possessed an immense amount of energy that none of us could match combined. No, I should say that the entire world combined might not have as much energy as him."

Upon hearing her say this, one of the sirens frowned and asked doubtfully, "Are you sure you're telling the truth? How could humans possibly have power surpassing ours?"

"Oh dear, have you forgotten Walter Yang, who single-handedly protected North America, and Kevin Kaslana, who occupied the Sea of ​​Quanta and blocked our retreat?"

"Hmm...! You mean that commander and those two monsters are at the same level?"

"I'm afraid it's even higher than that. You haven't seen it with your own eyes, so you don't know how terrifying it is."

The sirens fell silent. They were already in a dilemma because of Walter Yang and Kevin Kaslana, and now an even more perverted guy had appeared. This was leaving them no way out!

"Huh? This is communication? Holy crap!" one of the sirens suddenly blurted out, "Something terrible has happened!"

"what happened?"

"what happens?"

The sirens all turned to look at the person who had exclaimed in alarm, who said with a look of panic, "Kevin Kaslana and the World Serpent are launching a fierce attack on our stronghold in Africa! That white-haired guy actually raided our base while we were away!"

"Back to defend! Back to defend immediately! The outpost in Africa absolutely cannot be compromised! That's our strongest fighting force!"

The sirens are practically in tears right now. All they did was come in for a little invasion, and they ended up being besieged by three cheaters!

P.S.: In the latest Honkai Impact 3rd story CG, no matter how I look at it, I feel like Kevin is going to come to the real world and fight Kiana. It seems Fu Hua, the strongest warrior of the last era, is finally reaching the pinnacle of power.

Section 329, Part 22: Welcome to the Newbie Commander Chat Group

Bai Jie is a bit confused right now.

A few minutes ago, he had spent the morning processing a portion of the accumulated documents. Since Sakura Empire had been without a commander-in-chief for some time, there were still many documents to review. Even Bai Jie couldn't review them all at once, so he only reviewed about a quarter of them in the morning.

Just as he finished reviewing a quarter of the papers and was about to take a break with some coffee, Otto suddenly sent him a text message. There was nothing in it except a string of numbers.

"A code? No, this number doesn't reveal any information... Could it be a code name for some kind of operation?"

Bai Jie stared at the string of numbers on his phone, lost in thought. Knowing Otto as he did, Otto would never send him a message so casually; there must be some deeper meaning behind it.

Just as Bai Jie was pondering, the door to the command center opened, and Zuikaku, dressed in casual clothes, rushed in: "Commander! I'm back!"

"Ah, Zuikaku, you've worked hard. How was the patrol?"

“There’s no problem at all,” Zuikaku said with a smile, then her gaze inadvertently fell on the string of numbers displayed on Bai Jie’s phone. “Eh? Commander, this string of numbers…”

Bai Jie's eyes flickered, and he asked, "Ruihe, do you know what this string of numbers means?"

"It's less about knowing and more about everyone knowing it; it's the chat room number."

The chat room number...?

Bai Jie felt like his intelligence had been rubbed into the ground. Otto, that meticulous and calculating guy whose every move was full of hidden schemes and whose cunning was unfathomable, actually sent him a chat room number?!

Lord Otto, you've changed.

"So, Otto wants to pull me into a chat room?"

"It should be, Commander, why don't you add it in and take a look? I remember you have a chat program on your computer... it's this one, QQ, and then you just type in the number like this... search... found it, this is it."

Zuikaku quickly typed something on the computer, and a chat room name appeared before Bai Jie's eyes—Azur Lane Newbie Exchange Group.

Bai Jie was at a loss for words. He had checked and there were only three people in the group: Otto, Walter, and Kevin—okay, that's pretty much a newbie.
